| Containerized Tree Seedlings
Trees For Tomorrow got its start by planting trees over 60 years
ago
to help improve the future of northern Wisconsin forests. Today we teach over 5000 people each year about their role in natural resources management. Proceeds from these seedling sales help support our education efforts. Trees are a renewable resource.
Our seedlings are shipped to you in the container in which they were planted as seeds. This means the seedlings have an established root system and suffer less from transplant shock when you plant them. Complete planting instructions are online and are sent with each order. These trees grow tall, and should not be planted under overhead utility wires. We do not recommend planting seedlings in spring until all danger of frost is over.
Seedlings are just $1.00 each.
Proceeds from the sales of the tree seedlings help
support the school programs provided at
Trees For Tomorrow.
